The GC100 was officially launched on 9 March 2005 and brings together the senior legal officers of more than 80 FTSE 100 companies.
The Group was created in response to the increasing volume and complexity of domestic and international law and regulation which impacts on UK listed companies.
The main objectives of the GC100 are to:
Provide a forum for practical and business focused input on key areas of legislative and policy reform common to UK listed companies.
Enable members to share best practice in relation to law, risk management, compliance and other areas of common interest.
Membership of the GC100 is by invitation only. At the Group AGM on the 16 January 2007 members voted in favour of extending membership to company secretaries as well as general counsel in the FTSE 100.
The formal name of the GC100 is "The Association of General Counsel and Company Secretaries of the FTSE 100", although it is referred to as GC100.
